OUR STORY
The essence of Ol Lentille is its deep relationship with the local Maasai community.
An exclusive safari lodge for discerning travellers and conservation enthusiasts
Established in 2007, Ol Lentille is one of East Africa’s most unique and exclusive safari lodges for its spectacular location and architecture, pioneering partnership with the local community and completely personalised service and activities.
After building the lodge on community-owned land, Gill and John Elias, the founders, donated it to the local community and managed it under a long-term agreement. Over the years, several other Maasai and Samburu communities contributed land to the Ol Lentille conservancy, resulting in a total of 40,000 acres of protected land which has been returned to life and re-wilded, and can now be enjoyed exclusively by Ol Lentille guests.
